e-BRC<br />
To reduce transaction and handling costs, a single window<br />
system to facilitate export <strong>of</strong> perishable agricultural produce<br />
has been introduced. The system will involve creation <strong>of</strong><br />
multi-functional nodal agencies to be accredited by<br />
Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export<br />
Development Authority (APEDA), New Delhi. The detailed<br />
procedures have been notified at Appendix 40 to HBP v1.<br />
A novel ‘Niryat Bandhu’ scheme for mentoring first<br />
generation entrepreneurs has been conceptualised. The<br />
Officer (Niryat Bandhu) would primarily mentor interested<br />
individuals in the arena <strong>of</strong> international business. Such handholding<br />
by <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> DGFT would help the new<br />
exporters/importers by leveraging the knowledge base <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers and by providing timely and appropriate guidance.<br />
Bank Realization Certificates (BRCs), evidencing receipt <strong>of</strong><br />
export proceeds would be transmitted electronically from the<br />
respective banks to the DGFT. This will bring down<br />
transaction cost to the exporters as they will not be required<br />
to obtain physical copies <strong>of</strong> BRCs from the banks and then<br />
submit such physical copy to DGFT.<br />
